Extending the TikTok Enforcement Delay

The order temporarily shields TikTok-related service providers from federal penalties while preserving the executive branch’s claimed exclusive enforcement authority.

What the order does ​

• Bars the Department of Justice from enforcing the foreign-adversary-controlled applications law through June 19, 2025.
• Prohibits later penalties for covered conduct occurring during the delay or before the order.
• Directs the Attorney General to issue implementation guidance and provider letters stating that covered conduct created no violation or liability.
• Directs the Attorney General to oppose enforcement attempts by states or private parties.

Who it affects ​

• TikTok and other entities covered by the foreign-adversary-controlled applications law.
• App stores, hosting services, and other providers distributing, maintaining, or updating covered applications.
• States and private parties seeking to enforce the law.
